Will Hairs Survive FUE Transplant?

Whether the harvesting technique is FUE or strip harvesting, the important part to survive is the follicle. The hairs that are present may fall out in about a week, then grow back in 3-4 months.  However, this happens much less frequently with single follicular unit grafts.

Survival in FUE transplants is dependent on multiple factors and requires years of training and experience.  Some centers just do what they can to get patients in and out the door.  But everything form dehydration, to micro trauma, to cytokines play a role. FUT and FUE are also very different procedures so if you are interested in FUE, try to choose a dedicated and experienced FUE team.  Here is a video of an FUE graft placement.
